Holy Half Marathon 2011

My jogging mate and colleague, Cat, and I have been training for a few months and entered this year's Holy Half Marathon. It's a 13.1 mi (21 km) race that is run entirely on the Notre Dame campus. Over 1000 people entered the race this year.

And here I am with metres remaining and blowing hard. I emptied the tank here and probably looked totally crazy doing it. (But loved that bit of the race the most!) Thanks Ian and especially: thanks Cat! Now let's plan our approach to the next big race in Indy.

About Me

I endorse individuality, rationality, capitalism and liberty and "Arrested Development". I oppose religiosity, the modern environmental movement, communism and statism and "Two-and-a-half Men".
